In defence of defences

 

La defense du drapeau (1897)


Directed by Alexandre Promio and Georges Hatot. A cavalryman defends the flag while standing in front of a cannon.


A rousing battle scene that does may be not lot the most realistic to modern eyes. Possibly one of the first pieces of cinematic propaganda. People seem to come in and die at random.


3/5
